Warren is too extreme and the Dems know it. They are pulling another stunt - like Hillary did to Sanders last election cycle.

Warren has this in the bag, but look at what's happening.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in the race for the Democratic nomination for president has rebounded, and now stands at its widest margin since April, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Biden has the support of 34% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters, his best showing in CNN polling since just after his campaign's formal launch on April 25.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont are about even for second, with 19% and 16%, respectively.

Oh good, because Biden is going to be funny and entertaining in a debate against Trump.

Although I think replaying Clinton would be hilarious as well.

By the way, you must know, all these poll numbers are BS. They're made up. The person with the best chance against Trump is Tulsi Gabbard, possibly Bernie Sanders.

Well if they're smart they could do Biden/Warren. But yeah def rigged. The moderate donors already made it clear they won't support radical SJWs.

Dems just get more and more fucked up than their opponent. The people that are independents which are the votes that they need see through a lot of the BS, at least let democrat voters pick this time around or Trump2020 for sure.

I don't see why they would give any money at all. Do you think either Biden or Warren is able to beat Trump? Trump got elected precisely because he wasn't yet another establishment asshole. There was absolutely no difference between Obama and Bush Jr. unless you think gay marriage was something that was vitally important. Nothing meaningful has changed in like 28 years.

In order to remove Trump in this next election cycle somebody is going to have to be run that isn't an establishment asshole. That's the only chance. Nobody likes the establishment other than the establishment.

Biden probably would have had a good chance in 2016, not today. Trump just ended that stupid Syrian war. I didn't vote for him in the last election cycle, but provided he doesn't start a new war, I will in the next.

It would be the best VP for Biden in the hopes to capture the moderates and nut jobs. I don't expect him to win either way. Trump's breakthrough in Syria is enormous. Good for him. So far the best cadaidate for 2020.

You can't be serious.

Obama isn't remembered fondly. He started the Syrian war, he blew up Libya. There's a TON of dirt on him, he was as corrupt as George W. Bush was, and Bush was corrupt! If you remember, Obama was elected because the last bastard lied the nation into a war using 9/11 to do it which had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Bush Jr was so disliked that a black man with a Muslim sounding nation became president, because a lot of people - myself included - wanted to see 1/2 of the Bush administration hang, and they should have. They still should.

On top of that there was the gross mismanagement of the SEC and law enforcement there. Bush actually used tax payer money to bail out criminals in our economic system - TARP. There was some hope, there would be some actual law enforcement so what does AG Holder do? NOTHING. QE1, QE2, QE3, QE4 - you have no idea how F'ed we all are when this collapses - the dollar is going to 0. That's what Obama did.

You think we want a 3rd term of that man, because that's what his wife's election would amount to? I think you'd see an assassination, by the US military, if that happened. No kidding. You'd see a coup.

Michelle would be funny on a debate stage though - i say go for it.

Right - nothing has changed accept the fucking definition and rules of marriage, sex, gender, pronouns, bathrooms, sports, hate crimes, SJW culture, single parent households, bums overtaking our major cities, transitioning children with puberty blockers....

While I agree there is little difference between the Republicans/Democrats on foreign policy and economics, there is a huge difference in those "icky" social issues that shapes culture.

Politics is downstream of culture.

The rich robber baron Democrats want illegal foreign workers and visa workers to continue; but they don't like Warren talking about actually taxing the shit out of them.

Every rich liberal I have known (and that's many) thinks the government should 1. help the losers in all ways possible 2. save the world's poor in any way possible 3. import foreign poor to help 1&2. 4. raise taxes to accomplish this BUT 5. Tax the shit out of someone who is RICHER than the liberal is.

The liberal who is even a rich liberal thinks that the much richer people need to be bled of their extra cash.

My father was a lifelong bleeding heart liberal; he said he was a Green Bay Packers fan because it was owned by the townspeople, not a rich owner. Sometimes he said he had socialist tendencies and beliefs.

But, when I looked at his tax and financial stuff he was very pleased that I found ways to save him money in 1. fees to a broker 2. fees to accountants 3. taxes 4. take full payout from variable annuity instead of payments (he was over 90) 5. cash out small life insurance policy ;( take $25,000 today or would you like $27,000 when you're dead?)

He actually liked having money very much as does everyone who is normal.

So, Biden the senile dipshit is at least not going to ruin the rich liberals with taxations while the only thing Warren seems to talk about is high taxation.

Biden is still a nightmare; he wants to double the capital gains tax to 40%.

This is called distraction which people are FORCED to argue about, as we have trillion dollar deficits, bomb/kill/displace millions, repeatedly bail out the criminals that run our financial system, and waste $800 billion dollars a year on a MIC that can't win a war with ANYBODY in the last 16 years.

Yes, what's important is gay marriage, sex, gender, pronouns, bathrooms, sports, etc - because that's what the media wants to talk about - so you the population won't get the idea of just cutting off a bunch of heads.

Our "news" controls the discussion. I used to get frustrated that what ought to be intelligent people get tricked into arguing about this BS - when it's easy to shut down.

Remember when there were "protests" over Trump having a temporary refugee ban of 7 nations? When a liberal would tell me "how awful Trump is to do that", I pointed out 5 of those nations were bombed by Obama, that nobody protested then that I know of, and I'd name the nations that were bombed and were being vetted. Here's the list. B is for Bombed and V and for Vetted:


B Afghanistan
V Iran
B/V Iraq
B/B Libya
B Pakistan
B/V Somalia
V Sudan
B/V Syria
B/V Yemen



Then I'd ask "why weren't you complaining when Obama was bombing 5 of those nations? I don't remember you doing that. Obama created the refugees there.

The REAL threat is that in 30 years, we might be looked upon by China and Russia like we looked upon Germany in 1970. That's what's important. Americans have no clue. This is a serious threat. The top level Nazis in Germany mostly got away. Same with the USSR.

socal2 says

The ONLY reason those "issues" exist is so you think there's a difference between the two parties.

Do you think the establishment cares about these issues? They're murdering millions, stealing billions, destroying nations - but oh, they care if little Billy can transition to Barbara and if Lenna and Laura can get married... They don't really care - they just stir up shit to keep people distracted. It used to piss me off they could so easily do this, but now, I just laugh at it.

You have to understand, our entire establishment are just the lowest of low scumbags, sociopaths, and criminals. All of them. Rachael Maddow is one, Mark Zuckerberg is another, Sean Hannity is another, so is Nancy Pelosi, so is James Comey, Mitt Romney, John O. Brennan, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Eric Holder, just about any upper level brass in any of our military branches - they are just scum. How can you still have faith in the system still? You shouldn't have, you're naive to have. Sociopaths depend not on people to be stupid, but to be good natured and to believe other people are as well. Sociopaths rule us. It's just a mafia, and they are producing distractions to argue about so we don't band together, and literally murder them all.

Biden is toast.

He doesn't know what state he's in.
His gaffes have become worse.
He's not at all healthy with multiple strokes and cancer scares that started 30 years ago, and he's no spring chicken.
He can't raise any money; Warren outperformed him in fundraising.

The rich dem donors don't want Warren.
The Dark Blue SJW Base will never vote for Bloomberg.

Only Michael Obama or Hillary has a hoot in hell of saving the Democrats.

It's real and affects me personally. My company just lost a contract in San Francisco because my Corporate HQ is located in one of the 10 states that is not sufficiently woke on LGBQT issues. If we manage to win the appeal based on the letter our expensive attorneys just sent, we then have to deal with a new San Francisco black list that came out last week that bans contracts with 22 States that have abortion restrictions.

I lose work all the time in Seattle, Los Angeles and Portland because we aren't a minority owned company.

My kids go to public schools in California where they say almost 1/4 of their classmates think they are gay or transgendered because this shit is pumped down their throats 24/7 by their teachers and pop culture.

This shit affects me more than deficits.

I hate to point this out to you, but you're in the minority. I live and work in Silly Con Valley. I don't give a shit, politics stays at home doesn't enter work.

All you described was a company cutting it's own throat if it stops hiring the most competent. So the fuck what? It's self correcting. Will it get worse before it gets better? Almost certainly. Wouldn't have happened though if we strung up George W. Bush for lying us into the war in Iraq, or Bill Clinton for bombing the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant to distract from his BJ from Monica, or George H. Bush for lying us into Operation Desert Storm.

What goes around comes around. Americans have let their criminal government walk all over billions of people for 30 years. Now that they are starting to walk on you, what will you do about it?

Suffer for a while. That's what. This is the result of a lack of civics I'm afraid. This is the fault of Americans themselves.

Your kids are going to be slaves because of the current deficits. Too late to fix that. The time to fix that was something like 20 years ago. They are on the hook to pay for everything this fucking government has done since the Vietnam War started.

Funny you have to argue with a company about being "woke". That's hilarious, you have to argue with a company cutting it's own goddamned throat because it's too busy hiring based on skin color, gender, sexual orientation, political leanings while entirely ignoring competence. I have to laugh at the companies engaging in this as I watch them erode over time. Google is no longer a useful search engine. Facebook isn't useful for communicating with people. Twitter was never useful.

What, don't believe in capitalism? I for one, welcome the opportunity that has been presented. Oh noes, Google won't hire competent engineers with highly sought after skills because they are white and Chinese. On noes!! Now there's an over-abundance of them. What will an engineering company do??

These are City contracts that are being cancelled. I work for an engineering firm that specializes in water/sewer projects. We are a niche technology, but have been the world leader for 30 years. They cancel us and hire a more expensive and inferior competitor costing the tax payers money through government incompetence and wokeness, Don't even get me started dealing with prevailing wage and public sector unions jacking up the cost of infrastructure projects.

The Democrat party are the chief backers and supporters of the government bureaucracy and public sector unions making California (and government) so expensive. They are also the chief backers shoving the PC SJW crap down our throats. This effects my pocketbook and the quality of my family's life.

I think you mentioned you lived in the Bay Area? If so, how are you enjoying that "self correcting" with all that fucked up expensive government that can't keep shit and bums off the streets but has time to pass and enforce LGBQT laws? How much longer and how much more expensive will it get before it gets better?

Oh, you mean welfare jobs. Often when I call government work welfare, I'm challenged to live without government "services". Deal - if I don't have to pay taxes. I'm never given that choice. Think it's bad here? You can live in rural nowhere, get NO government services other than a 1/2 assed skool and some shitty roads, and still pay 1/4 of your income to the Feds - while you live in a trailer and work 60 hours a week.

Dude, who gives a crap about a few million dollars? We spend 2 billion dollars a day on wars. That's about $6 a day per man woman and child. It's $25 a day for a typical nuclear family.

Well, here's a thought - get a job doing stuff that people VOLUNTARILY pay for, instead of having a gun stuck up my asshole asking "give me your money, slave".

I work in the private sector. About the only useful thing the government does is sort of maintain the roads, barely. NH had better roads than Commiefornia.

Oh, I'm enjoying it quite well to see it all implode.

socal2 says

Oh, I make terrible predictions. For example, I predicted the collapse of our banking system by 2010. The government will just lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie, until people are ACTUALLY awake. It should have imploded, but the Federal reserve just just started printing money and then buying their own debt. Can't believe other nations have allowed this, but they did.

Look, everything is connected and I welcome a full on, Soviet style collapse. And yes I know what that will entail. Better for this nation to go through 5 years of pain than World War III which is what the fucking nutcases that run this government were aiming for up until Trump. Better the US is a smoking hole in the ground before that. Better I'm dead, you're dead, your family is dead, your dog is dead before that.

Remember 3 years ago when there was all that hoopla about "Trump is the next Hitler!!!" ? With any luck, he's the next Gorbachev 2.0. You think you're suffering too - go visit the rust belt and complain about not getting your gubermint contracts. The working class feed us all. I make toys for them - I'm grateful for them, and I know my place, it's UNDER them. They are the most hurt by this government. I say, fuck the government. I stand with them. They're the ones that send their kids off to these dumb fucking wars. They are the ones that are bankrupted by these shit trade deals. Go visit Flint Michigan, and see if they give a crap about a lost contract from Commiefornia.

I think I have a bigger picture than you, and despite a soviet style collapse definitely hurting me, and it will hurt you, it will help them. I'm all for it.

Fly over country is the backbone of this nation - California, NY, Massachusetts, 1/2 of Texas and most of Florida can sink into the sea.

I agree with social2. The social issues can’t be ignored. We are basically at this point in completely uncharted waters in terms of acceptable social norms.

Between huge influx of immigrants from dramatically different cultures, much higher immigrant birth rates, the destruction of the nuclear family, the normalization of deviant sexual behavior, and the deliberate stirring up of racial tensions, I don’t think we’re going anywhere good.

I’m with you on the propaganda and people being stupid, but this crap has been going on since the founding of this country. We fought a revolutionary war against England where thousands of people died over a tax most didn’t even have to pay. WWI was about the assassination of some European royals and millions died fighting over that ffs. WWII FDR provoked the Japanese into attacking us, allowed them to bomb Perl harbor, all so we could go to war in Europe, propaganda much?

Point is, we’re always going to be ruled by sociopathic assholes. We’re always going to be dying and killing to support the MIC. There’s too many idiots out there. And even if everyone was smart, they’d just pull a China and start killing people who don’t like it.

At least though I’d like it not to suck over here and I’d like my kid not to be brainwashed into thinking he’s a tranny by his public school teacher. So you can’t just dismiss the social issues because they are used to divide us.

The person with the best chance against Trump is Tulsi Gabbard, possibly Bernie Sanders.

IF they put Tulsi on the ballot she would probably kick Trump's electoral and popular butt. She is intelligent, can speak well, and could probably hold her own in a debate with Trump. Tulsi is also good looking. And most important she would be the youngest and first ever female United States president. If a wicked witch like Hillary could score the popular vote imagine what a young vibrant uncorrupted candidate like Tulsi could do.

War is a social issue. A false flag like 9/11 is a social issue. The Mandalay Bay false flag shooting is a social issue.

Your government thinks nothing about killing a million people in Iraq, but you think they'd have any concern about killing a few thousand in the US. How's Flint Michigan going - who has been punished? Hundreds of children with lead poisoning that will never recover.

If you can't control your government, you will suffer. If you allow your government to be criminal, you will suffer. See it yet?

That's all propaganda, I hope you know. All our wars have been about banking in some form or another. The British tried to force the American colony's to accept fiat currency at interest.

When I was in college, back in the very early 1990's, I had a conversation with a fellow student, and he said to me "The internet is going to destroy every culture there is and make one" - and I was appalled and said so.

"Oh, you don't understand, once we have a single culture there will be nothing to convince us to fight over"

And I was enlightened.

You don't have to be smart to understand a sociopath. Ever play a video game? Well, do you worry about being killed too much in the game, or killing other's? That's how a sociopath thinks. That's exactly how they think. Of course a sociopath would rather play the game through other people, so they PERSONALLY don't die if caught or killed.

You really don't know what sort of progress there has been with the Internet. There's been a lot. I've been on it 30 years. It's changed the world for the better.

Take your kid out of public skool, get together with other like minded parents, look up Khan Academy, realize the Internet is the world's research tool. You have no excuse today. Back in 1985, I HAD to be ignorant. I didn't have a choice.

Stop thinking of people as stupid, think of them as gullible, because most "stupid" people aren't stupid. They've just been fooled.

Communities were intentionally destroyed - well, form one. Church might be a good place to start and I'm saying this as an atheist.

I wouldn't doubt it, but her stated 2nd amendment stance is troubling. The 2nd amendment is ONLY there for revolution no matter what anybody says. She's a CFR member.

Again, I wouldn't doubt she could get elected in 2020 if she were allowed to run, but if she's going to run - I'd prefer it in 2024 and have her rethink the 2nd amendment, because if that's cancelled, 1/2 the country supports civil war, and so would most of the military. She's a medic in the military, not infantry.

There's a guy, Mykeru, who used to be a typical leftist. I found him through skeptic boards. But he went to Occupy DC and saw all the SJW bullshit - he has a great story of strong, independent women feminists fleeing in terror after being "mansplained" that if they didn't lock up their treats, rats would come. Much of the protesters were all about Patriarchy, Capitalism, etc. which is one of the reasons it failed royally. Of course they all fled to men to rid them of the upteen rats rummaging through their cookies and crackers. Then SJWs targeted skeptic/atheist conferences with "presentations" (wikipedia based talks) about why EvoBio was unscientific and oppressive.

His stuff might still be up on Youtube...

Agreed. My wokeness started with the above mentioned SJW Far Left infiltration of Skeptic stuff which I was more into about a decade ago, when I was first on this forum.

But over time I realized Aristotle is right, everything in balance. With no Touchstone of a few points of widely accepted behavior, society cannot function: Thatcher was wrong on this one point. Religion or Philosophy can enforce it, but it has to receive at least token endorsement from the Cultural Heights; the opposite is now happening. Places like Singapore are overwhelmingly Chinese to start with, and even Lee Kwan Yeu had issues with Muslims, which he frankly and gruffly remarked about on several occasions, including in his own books about his life and governing Singapore.

Back to Occupy - you've ( @ignoreme ) correctly ID'd the time frame, which was 2008-2010. That's when Free Speech and Free Inquiry, once a solid value of America and the Far Left in particular, began to be rejected by the Left and spread into the mainstream via their enclaves in SFBA (Tech), LA (Hollywood), and NYC (Corp HQs, Publishing, Legacy Media). It's still contained for now, having only infected the 15-20% of the mostly Left in this country.

One thing the Classic Internet of Newsgroups, Geocities, etc. era agreed upon was Free Speech and totally Free Inquiry. Most users, who were heavily Libertarians, Liberals, most Leftists (other than a pitiful few 50s-60s Red Doper Diaper Baby unrepentant Communists), and non-hyper Fundy Conservatives could all agree on that. But this is no longer the dominant paradigm; it is now maybe a bare majority of users but not the Cultural/Tech Commanding Heights.

From the NBA to Hollywood to Google to CNN, there's a clear push way beyond tolerance of Gays or Genderbenders into actual promotion of it, while they kowtow to Chinese Authoritarianism for the money. Colleges were on board before this, and now WokeyDokey it's a force in K12 even in Southern States.

There's a movie called "This Film has not yet been Rated".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Film_Is_Not_Yet_Rated

In 2006, films were refused ratings for a single lesbian kiss - no violence, no gratuitous sex, no cursewords. Today, no film can be made without a token minority of every group, alternative lifestyle practicioners, even if the setting/story/audience makes it out-of-place. Every other franchise is rebooted as completely female, Ghostbusters and soon, 007. No matter that the audience is for a genre that's overwhelmingly male. And when they flop, the Hollywood Execs blame the Public, which is unheard of in the entire history of Hollywood. Indeed they did everything possible to AVOID offending the Public. And not just in the days of John Wayne. Master and Commander substitutes the American opponent in the book with a French one, when most people really wouldn't give a shit, then or now.

In short, we have Big Media, Big Tech, etc. actually telling the vast majority of the audience to go Fuck Themselves.

The international audience is excuse is bullshit because the Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, etc. are way less into Race/LGBTQ Wokey Doke that the typical median American family.

You really don't know what sort of progress there has been with the Internet. There's been a lot. I've been on it 30 years. It's changed the world for the better.


This is a joke right? The internet is the greatest tracking and social control tool ever invented. NSA has backdoors into every major site on the internet. You know so much about propaganda, you must have read Robert Epstein's study on search engine manipulation of search results to influence voter opinion? It's chilling.

And what's the tradeoff we made, what is the benefit we are getting for creating this powerful technology and using it? Freedom to communicate? Nope. Totalitarian governments easily cut off free communication for their populations. Think that only applies to China, Russia, and the AXIS of EVIL? Nope, western governments jail people for expressing un-woke communication on the internet. But that can't happen in the good old USA right? Just wait, already people are routinely demonetized, shadow banned, out right banned, have their DNS hosting turned off, even have their credit card processing turned off.

But muh blockchain!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can't.

Communities were intentionally destroyed - well, form one. Church might be a good place to start and I'm saying this as an atheist.


And in your last sentence you've finally gotten the point, although not sure you meant to. Why is Christianity and christian values under such heavy attack? Think it's not? Read the 10 commandments, there's not one you can tell people to follow anymore without offending someone because of your un-woke white privilege. This is by design. A community cannot be formed without shared values. For 2000 years, with various degrees of success and fidelity, Christianity has offered a framework for people to live by and to form communities around. This is why every government for 2000 years has tried to subvert it.

More importantly in particular, with the Renaissance and enlightenment, Christianity was the moral framework around which western civilization as we know it today was formed. Now it is under attack and losing relevance extremely rapidly. What comes after? Who knows. What we can say is that in the 20th century, when a government tried and succeeded in suppressing Christianity, most of the time totalitarianism followed.

This is why the social issues matter. If the government and the media succeed in this culture war (and they are winning it currently), there's not going to be any communities to challenge it.

there is a huge difference in those "icky" social issues that shapes culture.


This is mostly promotion of bullshit to get more social conservatives to go along with the right wing side.

I'm actually pretty darn conservative on social issues. I'm somewhat homophobic, as much as I try to override that with logic. I thought gay marriage was not necessary - that civil union was enough (without the word marriage - but the same thing - of course they're going to call themselves married so whatever). SJWs annoy the hell out of me. They go too far and are often mindless.

SJWs are something like 16% of democrats, at most. As for having a place (usually a single person use restroom) for trannys to use restroom, that was just being compassionate to that less than 1% of the country.

Right wingers use all of this (and anti abortion too holier than thou nonsense - as if they care about "life") to promote their side as being better, which is all about fucking over the little guy, the workers, and enriching the 1%.

How does it feel to be a puppet of the plutocrats ?

Both the Democrats and Republicans are, which is why the largest voting demographic in the United States today is independent, at 45%.

When I was a kid, the nonsense was "real men wear pink" - if you're old enough you remember that. That phase lasted a few years until people realized "this is stupid", and so it will go with the tranny stuff. The poor kids that have transitioned in 10 years will be a monument and reminder to past mistakes in misplaced trust.

But they control your party now. Everyone on the Democrat debate stage is cool with the most extremist Leftist positions from total open borders, trannys fucking up sports and bathrooms, 10,000 pronouns. Hillary Clinton is to the Right of all of them. Biden has to apologize for anodyne comments made less than 10 years ago....

I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 and still have alot of qualms about him - but will gladly vote for him to oppose the extremists who have taken over the Democrat party.

Don't know enough about Sandy Hook, but I can run the University at Fairbanks finite element simulation on my desktop. I'm not kidding, WTC7 strongly suggests controlled demolition. It's been researched for 18 years, the last study was a 4 year study with a finite element simulation model, and the one model that matches is near-simultaneous failure of all columns.

http://ine.uaf.edu/wtc7

Does this mean that's the ONLY thing that can explain it? No, not at all. Certainly something could have been missed, the model may be flawed - having said that here's the NIST model:

www.youtube.com/embed/jVE3YwRgU9k

They didn't even try.

You can think I'm a conspiracy nut, I don't care anymore. I'm just tired of the government lying, and the population being so gullible as to believe them still. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? How about the Russian Collusion that they've been yammering about for 2 1/2 years? They LIE, a LOT. Have some courage and call them on their bullshit.

The Mandalay Bay false flag shooting is a social issue.


Go do this - get any set of guns you like, except pistol, and fire 700 rounds in 15 minutes - see if you're able to do that. Also, you know how Stephen Paddock SUPPOSEDLY made his money? He was supposed to be an expert at "video poker".

What a lot of people, don't realize, is that you can't beat a video poker machine unless it lets you. They are programmed to pay out just enough to get you to play again. You can't make a living at it. In a video poker game, not only does the machine know it's hand, it knows your hand, and the deck can be changed at will by it to ensure it will win and you will lose - and I guarantee it does.

Mandalay Bay was the most obvious false flag I could think of. There's absolutely no way Paddock made his money playing video poker, and even a marine in good shape would have difficulty firing 700 rounds in 15 minutes. That's nearly a shot per second. My shoulder would fall off. Seriously - you want to know? Try it. He was a middle aged, out of shape, white pasty guy.

Oh come on, Clinton was the media's darling.

Look, today Caligula's horse could run against anybody in the "establishment" and have a very good chance of winning. With the exception of maybe a dozen people in ALL of congress, you could dump the rest of them in a woodchipper feet first and I'd be celebrating, and so would 90% of the United States.

As long as Trump is PERCEIVED to not be establishment, he's going to have an easy time winning I think, provided we have an accurate ballot system, and I'm not at all certain of that.

Rachael Maddow is one


For me, the end of Rachael Madcow, I mean Maddow, was her anti-male remark, after Trump's inauguration ...

https://patrick.net/post/1301811/2017-01-23-election-bitches-read-my-lips-the-vote-of-women-in-boston-and-nyc-don-t-matter



Rachel Maddow, who's normally just a standard California/Northeast Ivy League liberal type, decided to associate hard rocking men, meaning the headbangers (hinting that they were over aged 16 year old teenagers), playing in some 'American Carnage' tour ...

www.youtube.com/embed/kVwuizpVrWk

as somewhat related to, or even analogous, to Trump's *American Carnage inauguration speech.

This whole enchilada is just a well disguised, male bashing national phenomena, disguised as some democratic movement.

Seriously, where were these bitches in 2000, when in fact, the voting recounts of Miami-Dade county were obstructed and there was clear indication of election fraud throughout Florida? Was it because the fight was between two guys, that the feminists didn't care?

Remember, Trump had won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio. All three states did not have their ballets tampered wit...


In other words, what do heavy metal bands have anything to do with Trump getting inaugurated. Let me answer that question for you ... nothing!
